- The Wheel Loader had no traction. But I can't Stud the tires or use chains on the parking lot. So it was New Tires or trying something different. A tire Grooving machine.
here is a link to the One I bought: amzn.to/3cR31OB

Sam’s my favorite character on “As the Dirt Monkey Turns”........He’s the type of dude I’d role with. Good stuff.
Yes- he is good stuff.
like sands through the hour glass, these are the days of our lives.
Even I can see the difference from my couch. Great job, Sam. We all love Sam over here.
Nice👍 I'll let him know!
My guess on how the tire groover works is that the blade is also a filament that heats up. When you pull the trigger, the electric current runs thru the blade allowing it to instantly heat up. I'm sure that it took a sec or two to completely cool off after letting go of the trigger, but you get the point.. Brilliant idea..
I know jake going to be thrilled he’s going to have traction now
If you have traction, you can work faster.
Working faster makes you more money. 😁
In an office, the biggest moneymaker is the coffee maker in the morning.
Watching that snow roll on the arctic, on a big screen tv is awesome.
Kind of satisfying I bet.
A guilty pleasure. 😁
The big "grooves" are good for snow. The tiny ones are good for ice.
Chains/studs work on ice
Cutting the tires on the sledge really seemed to help it from spinning out, that bugger seemed to spin out all the time. Awesome video.
We noticed an improvement right away.
Tire grooving, I worked for Michigan Kenworth, hired a guy to grove truck tires made them like new, cool tool
Having guys do the small things like this keeps them super happy I bet. Guys getting paid to perform detailed small things is a reward for them to keep going. Team building at its finest.
Liked seeing the outcome of a DIY tire tread cutting, it seems to give the machine more pushing power. Thumbs up!
Yes it does!
I did this to the R4 tires on my tractor and it works great. Works even better if you don't run the tires at max pressure when you're not really loading them much beyond raising the blade. Get just a little flex in the side of the tire so it's not so hard and they'll grip like glue! (Same for the tires on your trucks...)
BTW, my $100 grooving iron works almost as well as your $500 tool, so I feel pretty good about that... :)
Great tip!
I absolutely love them Arctic push boxes you have they are beautiful I can't believe how clean they make the asphalt roll that beautiful footage look how the snow just rolls over that that bank that is beautiful
I totally agree!
Looks to be another worth while investment. Watching the snow roll and tumble on that pusher is just the coolest thing.
Another interesting video.
I love how you think outside the box instead of just throwing money at the problem.
I bought a mini version of this tool and siped the mud tires I had for my truck several years ago. I did it in my nice warm kitchen when my (now ex) wife was out and made the entire house reek of burning rubber. See was really happy when she came home. ;)
Thats to funny! I love stories like that.
I'm glad you've found a way to give those tires another couple years of life.
I do too
Something to keep in mind, is that as you reduce the amount of rubber in contact with the ground, you also increase the amount of wear on the rubber that is left. Hence why dirt/construction tires have such blocky designs, they are designed for longevity in rough conditions. But since you are using it primarily for snowplowing, where traction is more important than thread wear, it is a good trade-off, since more traction means faster work, and faster work means more money in the long run. 😁
Wow that brings back some great childhood memories!! My two buddies who I grew up next door to had to groove big tires for their dad during the summer. He made a living and raised 4 kids just by grooving tires.. During the summer we’d all jump in and help them so they could get done quicker and go ride bikes around the neighborhood!! Lol Fun times!! Over 35 years ago.. Wow.. Great video @Stan.. Stay blessed !!
Very cool! Those old stories are always the best. I love hearing how people lived and were raised
I am glad you finally tried this. I think you are going to be super happy with the results for years to come. It is very popular to do for those that take there jeeps rock crawling.
Fingers crossed!
Next video you need to take the loader rock crawling
Stan you and your whole crew look like a fun bunch of good people to hang out with.
yes! We enjoy the work and the company.
@@Dirtmonkey I guess the question is... Does it feel like you are going to work or does it feel like you are going to have some fun times when you are off at work?
The dynamic that the videos show are of the variety that you have achieved the joy in your work that it isn't anymore a grind / slugfest and instead something you enjoy and look forward to.
Great video Stan. The new tires are crazy good. I remember one storm where Alex was sliding all around couldn’t push anything. Interesting to see how much more effective they make that piece if equipment
Very true! The improvement was immediate
Man, that was brilliant. Getting a 1025R with R4s delivered in a couple days. Very concerned about snow traction and my wife's reaction when I say I need to buy new tires out of the gate. You guys solved my problem.
I have the 220 version of that groover and it works great super fast . I do skidsteer tires with it and semi truck and trailers! It makes a huge difference in the snow. Nice job on the cuts..!!
Is the 220 version better than this? I looked at it but just didn't have the right outlet for it. and this is pretty versatile on 110
Hint : It works on skidsteer tracks too. 😁
Thanks for the shout out I am starting my own lawn care and snow removal
That's awesome
Wow I didn't even know these machines excited. Very Cool video
Me neither-someone recomended I check them out so I did.
I have seen people cut groves in skidloader tracks for improving traction as well. Awesome work Sam and Stan 💪
Cool, thanks!
Never new a machine like that even existed was very satisfying to watch glad it worked out for ya and thank you for all your hard work making these videos for us while trying to do ur regular job
Glad you enjoyed it
My wife just streamed. Thank you so much for the Bday shout out!!
yes! so cool!
I'm really surprised you don't have a service truck set up, even just a pickup with a basic setup in it. Generator or genset/welder, air compressor and basic tools. I set my truck up that way when I worked for a large dairy and it was a huge time saver.
I used to have one but one of my guys totalled it out. Had a nice work body and all the goodies.
@@Dirtmonkey
That's a bummer, I hope he wasn't hurt ?
Stan i love how down to earth you are and willing to help local people
i love helping!
Hey Stan! Happy Wednesday! Hope you and your family are doing well! Keep up the great work and I'll see you Friday!
Hi Bud! alls well here- hope you like tonights video. It was pretty fun trying this machine out for the first time. Even if I screwed it up a little. but in the end it all worked out. See you friday!
That's a really awesome tool. Never seen anything like it before since we never cut into thousand plus dollar heavy machinery tires. I'd really like to see a video review of the tires in 6 plus months of how this worked for yall in snow, dirt, gravel ect... thanks
Thanks for the shout out Stan! I think its really cool that you do that!
You bet
I don't know the exact design of that tool but on my groover I can use the blades for grooving to sipe the tires as well by installing the blades upside down in the tool. So don't throw away your old blades if you're able to reuse them in your tool upside down.
I didn't think that would work with these. but I could be wrong
So I want to say thank you for being so informative in all your videos. I am at a point in my backyard transformation that I need to bring in someone to complete the work I can’t do myself which consists of bringing in loads of soli, regrading and installing a 50-60’ retaining wall at 3’ tall. So far the 3 contractors I’ve spoken with, I’ve only found one MAYBE capable of doing it correctly. It’s scary when I ask for pictures of work they’ve done and have yet to receive any. That doesn’t make me feel warm and fuzzy inside at all. I understand not everyone is going to fully document their work like you do but seriously how does a contractor not have a single picture of what they’ve done. I wish you were here in NJ bc I would hire you in a second.
don't they have referances and addresses of projects you could go visit? and past customers you could call? Most good contractors do and are proud of their work.
@@Dirtmonkey I would totally ask if they actually got back to me with an estimate or even the images I asked for of precious work. Im hopeful for the two coming by tomorrow. They both actually have a website and images of work they’ve done.
I've driven by your snow bunker so many times just waiting to see you there!!!
Then you have seen ther isn't much left. Its melted.
Hello Stan,
I've always say let the tool do the work. If you try and speed things up, that's where mistakes are made.
Thank you for the shout out. Love the video's keep up the good work and god bless and stay safe.
Well said!
That sir, is a very handy product, I am impressed, didnt know it existed, thanks for showing us this tool!
Glad to help
❤ No wire in cabin when shredding.
we removed it all.
That was pretty neat, didn't know there was a machine that you could cut your own grooves into tires. Glad it worked out well! Love your videos, Stan. Not only are they entertaining but educational as well.
Thanks 👍
Watching these machines are so cool
Hey Stan you say thank you to all of us but really thank you you helped me in more ways than you know with your videos # depression sucks...... hope to hear a shout out Sam petrini from labor by neighbor Handyman Services Scranton PA
Shout out coming brother.
Several companies have gas powered air compressor/generator combos out there. Some even add the ability to weld. They aren't cheap, but can be a life saver.
That would be pretty handy
A foxbody dressed up in the JDM style actually looks really good
Wow, that tool is impressive. I hope you get well soon Stanley.🙏
Thanks 👍
Thanks for the shoutout Stan! Quintin and Alex from T&B Lawn and landscape appreciate it! Thanks for everything you do. You help with every part of our business bidding wise how to do certain things. Or different ideas of how to do things. Your the man!
That’s a huge improvement.... at a huge cost savings!!!
Its like something good got better when I figured I saved $5,500
And it gets better too : Since you have more traction, you work faster, which makes you _more money !!_ 😁
Thank you for another great video. I look forward to seeing your next video. Your videos give me something while recouping from major back surgery I really appreciate the work and honesty you put in your videos. Thank you again
Wow-hope you heal fast! Thanks for your input & watching! Keep coming back👍
And now you know why we've been hollering about snowtires. 😂
Right!?👊
@@Dirtmonkey
I hope we weren't too annoying about it.
We do want our Dirtmonkey to be in a good mood as he breaks another blade on the tire-groover. 😄
Anyways, good video, thanks for sharing it with us. 😀
Stan, I saw this on your instagram post, it was really cool with the results that you got. Hop your re doing good. It is pourin down rain here in south jersey. I hope frankly has gotten a little better. The good news is that he will have hi antibody so if he does get sick again from the flu or cold. It wont really hinder him from working.my mom and dad went and got their second COVID shot yesterday. They are fine and dandy. And for dinner tonight we had Wendy’s. I got the baconator combo with a large frie and a drink. I got a 100 on My math test yesterday so today we went out for a treat. Had roast beef yesterday. So tomorrow we are going to their Columbus market and i am gonna get my usual, fruit smoothie. Cheesesteak pretzel, and a regular pretzel, made by the Amish. By hand and all fresh. Best place in the whole world. Anyone that reads this has to come. Top Burlington county NJ and on Route 206 in Columbus NJ it is located. The pizza place there. Petes pizza is so dammm good. Stan and friends. If time and money allow, I recommend come down to NJ. Anyway, Stan, you and everyone else have a great night. From your pal Alexander costa😉👊🏼🙏🏼
Cranky Franky is slowly feeling better and getting happy again haha., Congrats on your Math test! 100! thats awesome! It raining here right now- has been all day. Kind of miserable. Cold and wet but tomorrow the sun is supposed to come out. That will help dry everything up.
Excellent work and thanks for the sharing this with us. Take care and stay safe
Thanks, you too!
@@Dirtmonkey Your welcome and thank you 👍
Wow! I learn so much from you. I never even knew one could do something like this. So cool!
Thank you! Cheers! Actually I didn't know if it could be done either. This was just a big gamble. Glad it worked out
Love all your videos, it's like hanging out with your friends and family. God bless and I'll see ya on the next one!
Awesome video, that tire groover really cuts like butter from the looks of it!
It does!
Neat! Those turned out surprisingly well. I'd say that's a win even if you factor in labor! Especially with this weather if you're just looking for stuff for the guys to do!
Totally agree!
They use to have company's that would come out to the used car lots and grind the tire down and make new treads for them right on the car. Costumers thought they were getting new tires. Guess that was like the 60's Tires had a lot more rubber, didn't have the compounds they have now.
I did city buses learned to sharpen them up with a hone. Did a lot of those tires in my day
All that equipment that you own, yet you don’t own a generator? Might be a good investment!
i think I need a new one. My old one was massive.
That Groover is an awesome find!
agreed. very nice little machine.
@@Dirtmonkey
Get the company on the wall ?
love it. I have one my dad used for truck tires. Unfortunately, we can no longer do that. in Denmark
can you still use it on agriculture equipment? or off road applications/
@@Dirtmonkey yes. under 40 km/h
That is awesome!!😁 Thanks Stan.
Glad you liked it! Did I say your name right on the shout out?
Yep you got it right! It’s just awesome that you take time out of your day to reply to us.
Stan those new groves definitely helped guess what you can now do if you have a flat snow tire on one of your wheeled skids you can toss groves in the stock R4 industrial tires and use it as a spare tire when a tire shop is closed
I didn't think of that. Thanks
@@Dirtmonkey no problem Stan and if you get new tires for the sledge which you might want to cause where you are probably having tire leaks is where the tread and side wall meet inside the tire my mom had that happen 8 times on 8 different tires and they can’t be fixed in that area of the tire these cracks on the inside look like what dry rotted tires look like on the outside once you get these cracks you are constantly putting air in them
Wow those tires are awesome now! Sweet video!
Glad you like them!
Hi Stan,
That machine looks to be the best $500 you have ever spent!
I think it might be
Nah, the best money spent goes to the Coffee Maker. 🤣
just here to say hello from belgium to you and your awesome team and thanks for the good videos. i really wait for your videos during the week!! 👍👍👍
Glad you like them! and thank you so much!
Gosh dang it!!! I just got out to eat! Guess I’ll watch it later! Have a good one!
No worries- I'll see you then.
Holy cow! that’s a huge advancement nice work
Sam gets his groove on. I think I would make a template and make it more uniform.
Thanks for the Awesome videos, I just picked up a western plow that was converted to a quick tack set up and your videos on plowing are going to help with the learning curve !!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Using a regrooving machine was a great way of thinking outside the box
👊 Thanks
I have seen this done with a trimmer router, you might give it a try.
Great video Stan, Thanks.
Great idea
Howdy Tex 😂 very cool I have not seen a tire grover in over 20 years. Sams a pro tire grover. Keep up the great work guys. Stay healthy and safe from Alberta Canada 🇨🇦
Same to you! Stay Healthy and safe up in Alberta!
i have been looking at getting one of those tire groovers. i siped the front tires of my kubota with a box cutter, took me 45 min a tire (DM for pics). sipes really helped the traction. the tractor came with R1s and they totally suck in the snow. i can't use chains either, i spend a lot of time backing up steep driveways throwing snow, so the fronts were my priority (plus much cheaper to replace if it was a total fail). just the sipes made a noticeable improvement. will be grooving the rears before next season.
It was amazing how well it worked
Wow, awesome bit of kit and massive savings👍👊
It really is!
The best way to make money, is to spend less money, right ?
There's an old Viking saying on money, that went something like :
_"If you spend money on things you _*_don't_*_ need, soon you won't have money for things you _*_do_*_ need."_
@@Grumpy_old_Boot good saying but I’d rather spend 500 now rather than 5k later😉
@@andyt4632
To be fair, if it can save you 5k, then you probably do *need* it now. 😀
The saying is about foresight, and saving up for it when you need it.
Hey bub you and your crew are one funny bunch from start to finish I was laughing I'm super impressed with that regrooving machine you have instant turf tires
Glad you enjoyed it
very cool.. if you sipe also it would significantly improve the traction in winter. some tools you can flip the cutter over, the u shaped head and have 2 straight cuts per pass. or they probably sell a siper head. snow sticks to snow. the best winter tires have tons of sipes, along with softer compound. but ya the price for having 2 sets of tires for summer and winter. maybe lower air pressure too a bit.. a grinder also to freshen up before sipping. it gets the glaze off. sipping is faster then grooving also. you can also do to skid steers. love the channel thanks for the good content.. big fan. God Bless you too..
That was a fascinating video guys , and that tyre groove application is a skill learning job 👍 Tam.
Glad you enjoyed it
That's some heavy snow too!
That is the same thing we use for our race cars. I have a 2 handed heated siper we should try on your tires for next year. I have 3 different sipers and grooving irons. I do this to my skidsteer tires and it doubles the life of the tires
Im going to try it on a set of dirt tracks and see if it works for snow
Siping, grooving or both. It will work for the tracks also. Don't be afraid to sipe both ways. Across the tires (forward traction) and around (side to side bite).
North to the mulcher! North, the cabin's gone!
next week. Starts on Monday Anthony.
We do the same thing to our race car tires for better traction never thought about doing it on heavy equipment 👍🏻👍🏻
Im glad this worked out. I didn't think it would but yeah! wow. That was cool
Good job great groove cutter ! Should hold for awhile ...It’s good to get all the use you can from your expensive tires,
Definitely!
Awesome! Thanks for shout-out brother! Keep up the great work and hopefully I can do a custom floor coating or an Overlay for you some day 👍
You bet! Your invited up anytime.
@@Dirtmonkey Thanks!
Nice one Stan 👍👍👍🏴🏴🏴
Thanks Tony
You do a excellent job on name pronunciations!! Hats off
Thanks but I don't believe you haha
One of the best items you dropped 5 Benjamin’s on. Great video.
I think so too!
I bought a kinda cheap tire Grover for dirt bikes it was lil slower but I did my r4 on my tractor made a huge difference with traction saved me from buying new tires for snow
I thought about it but realized if it worked I could also do a lot of other stuff with it. Like tracks.
@@Dirtmonkey yep for u it makes sense to buy the good one u have lots of other equipment to use it on I only had to do my tractor tires so I cheaper out but mine u need gloves bc it's not cooling once u let off the button mine was off or on but I did all 4tractor tires in about 2.5 hrs wasn't hard once I got hang of it
What a smart tool!
I thought it was impressive.
Yep beside dirt Mikey Sam is my favorite thumbs up and I am trying to get a plow for my Poulan Pro Lawn Mower
Sam is freaking awesome. Great job guy's
He's a good dude
Great vidoe!!!
Those grooves in the tires had a big improvement in tracktion!
For sure!
Love seeing the roll. Makes me want a buttered bun.
The learning curve is you don’t let people that don’t know how to use it not use it
Truck tires have entirely different siping requirements. I would have done that in stages, first simply put the single parallel zig-zag groove pattern across each stock lug. That would have cut the time down. A lot of the benefit comes from the fresh sharp edges. Your investment will allow you to freshen that up when needed.
Great point!
Siping tires helps a ton too. On my tool I just put the cutting tool in the gun in the opposite direction so it cuts two sipes instead of a groove. I would dare say siping helps just as much or more than the grooves... Definitely helps more on glare ice. I sipe my pickup tires and the difference is remarkable.
That little machine is awesome! Saves a lot of money
You got that right! It worked so much better than I thought it would
Glad to hear you and Sam enjoy the old muscle cars and when the muscle left to did the class act they use to be. Got a loose fender flare on the driver side there Sam, might want to check it out so it doesn’t scratch that fender.
LOVE old muscle cars but also really enjoying the NEW version of the classics as well.
@@Dirtmonkey admittedly the new version does have some muscle to them and the styling I think looks good, glad to see a resurgence in the classics
God bless you Stan Princess bride one of my favorite movies we quote it almost everyday on jobsites! And the three Amegos ha ha we pruned the hedges of many small villages 😆
👊 Nice!
Hey Stan hey Sam hood job on the tire grooving we use to get our forklift ls done and the smaller blades are for smallest tires he use to use two sizes bigger for big front wheel and smaller for the rear tyres 👍
I think we are trying do a set of skid steer tracks next.
@@Dirtmonkey like to see that video Stan 👍
Sam doesn't like the biscuits, but he likes the gravy when it comes to painting. TBF, I don't care for the gravy or the biscuits...
Im with you. I don't like either.
cant wait to see these tires perform next winter season, cool vid stan!
lucky for us -it snowed one more time so we got to try them out. Thats coming in a couple weeks.
Groovy baby. Badgers? We don't need no stinking badgers!
Yeah Badgers-lol👊
